"This ...... What's going on? We haven't pressed the elevator button yet, why did the door open? Cui Li said in a panic.

"This must be a trap! We can't go up! Zhao Yuyu looked at the elevator in front of him with suspicious eyes.

At this time, all the decisions fall on Xia Cheng, and his judgment will determine the fate of all of us.

We watched the elevator door slowly open, but Zhao Yuyu tried his best to prevent us from boarding the elevator: "Xia Cheng, the safety of all of us is on your decision, you must be cautious!" The purpose of this elevator is too obvious, it just wants to trap us inside! We can't afford to fall for it, there might be other ways to get up there. ”

Zhao Yuyu searched around, but except for the elevator in front of us, there was no way to get to the upper floor.

"Zhao Haoyu, there is no second way here except for this elevator, obviously this elevator is the only way for us to get to the previous floor." Lin Yun said.

It is indeed a difficult decision, and it is a decision that will be at the risk of everyone.

Xia Cheng took a few steps forward and looked at the elevator and said, "Zhao Yuyu is right, this elevator is indeed in danger, it will take us to unknown places, so everyone should have their own choice - whether to go or not is up to you." ”

After Xia Cheng finished speaking, he walked into the elevator quickly, and it seemed that he had explained his choice with his actions.

I didn't think too much about it, all I had in my heart was to rescue Li Ruina. Regardless of whether this elevator is full of danger as Zhao Yuyu said, I will find out until I rescue Li Ruina.

I strode into the elevator, and Lin Yun beside me also made a decision almost at the same time as me and walked in the direction of the elevator.

"Cheng Yin, have you thought about it? This...... This elevator is a little ...... Weird, I ......," Cui Li said hesitantly.

At this moment, Zhang Han walked into the elevator with the cool headphones, and the remaining Zhao Yuyu and Cui Li looked at each other, and it didn't take long for the elevator door to slowly close.

Cui Li looked at the elevator door about to close, and became more and more anxious: "Forget it, it's a big deal to leave your life here!" ”

With that, he rushed to the elevator and rushed in sideways.

"Zhao Haoyu, come on! There is great power in numbers, and if we are together, we can still take care of it! Lin Yun shouted at Zhao Yuyu outside the elevator door.

Zhao Yuyu's face was full of hesitation, and she never moved her steps, seeing that the door of the elevator was about to close completely, she took a step and rushed towards the door of the elevator, but she didn't catch up......

In this way, the door of the elevator closed tightly in front of us, and Zhao Yuyu's figure disappeared from our sight.

"Are we going to leave her there like that?" Lin Yun asked worriedly.

While each of us was silent, the elevator door opened in front of us again. A disappointed Zhao Miyu appeared outside the elevator door, obviously she didn't expect the elevator door to open for her again.

"What are you doing in a daze, come up!!" Lin Yun shouted.

It was at this time that I realized that the opening of the elevator door this time was not opened by the elevator itself, but Xia Cheng, who pressed the button of the elevator door opening at the same time as the elevator door closed, which made the elevator door open slowly.

Zhao Yuyu seized this opportunity, quickly walked to our side, and said, "I thought you really left me alone like this." ”

After a while, the door of the elevator slowly closed again, and Xia Cheng pressed the floor button on the top floor, so the elevator began to slowly move upwards, and the numbers on the electronic screen became larger and larger, and we were about to reach the top floor. But suddenly the elevator started moving down again, and we watched in panic as the numbers on the screen got smaller and smaller.

"This ...... What's going on? Cui Li said in a panic.

I looked at the button on the elevator and said, "Encrypt the elevator." ”

"What? Add... Crypto elevators? I've only heard of any encrypted emails or something, and there's an encrypted elevator? Zhao Yuyu asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Cheng Yin, this elevator can also be encrypted?" Cui Li was also surprised.

"The so-called 'encrypted elevator' is actually a special elevator, which is no different from ordinary elevators from the outside. But in fact, the corresponding password has been set, and only if the password is correct, the elevator will reach the floor you have chosen, otherwise the elevator will not start at all, or it will ...... "I stopped halfway through the sentence...

"Or what? Why didn't you say it? Zhao Yuyu asked.

"The latter takes those intruders to the set levels, which are usually equipped with a large number of traps to trap the intruders." Xia Cheng continued my words.

"How...... How so...... I'll just say that this elevator is just a mechanism, you still don't believe it......" Zhao Yuyu said with annoyance.

"Wait, you said that this elevator needs a corresponding password to open, but there is no party to enter the password?" Cui Li asked, looking around.

"Far away in front of you, in fact, the buttons on those floors are the password input devices." I said.

"So what do we do now?" Lin Yun asked.

"There's no other way, we just have to wait for the elevator to stop." I said helplessly.

The numbers on the electronic screen kept getting smaller until they stopped at the negative floor, when they stopped completely.

We didn't speak, and we didn't know what the trials we were going to be facing......

But we know very well that this test must far outweigh all the problems I have encountered before.

Just when we were at a loss, the doors of the elevator slowly opened. The unknown is about to appear in front of us.

"I don't want to go out, we want to go back!" Zhao Yuyu pressed the button of the elevator door to close hard, but it was useless.

"No, I said that the 'crypto elevator' can only work after entering the password." I said.

"Then aren't we just going out?" Cui Li looked out.

"yes, it's definitely useless to stay here, why don't you go out and explore, maybe find another way to get out of here." After Xia Cheng finished speaking, he took the lead in getting out of the elevator.

Xia Cheng is right, if we want to get out of here, we will have to find a new path on our own.
